Let’s Talk Cheer: The Cheerleading Podcast For Parents & Coaches

Should Cheer Gym Owners Unfollow Families After They Leave?


Listen Later

Do unfollows on social media really mean drama in the cheer world? Or is it just self-care in disguise? When a cheer gym unfollows a family online, is it a petty move… or a healthy boundary? In this candid, laugh-filled episode, Jason Larkins sits down with Kristen Wheeler (aka “K-Dub” of the Cheer Mom Blog and Podcast) to dive deep into the emotional maze of social media, gym loyalty, and assumptions in the competitive cheer world. Whether you're a coach, a parent, or a cheerleader yourself, these are questions you've likely faced—or will soon.

Inside this episode, you’ll discover:

  • Why gym owners might really unfollow families on social media—and why it’s not always shade.
  • How parents can balance personal boundaries with community connection in youth sports.
  • The power of assuming positive intent—and how this one mindset shift can de-escalate almost any cheer drama.
  • Hit play now to hear what happens when the Cheer Mom and Let's Talk Cheer collide—insight, laughter, and real talk that every cheer parent needs in their earbuds.
